Camping and watersports can be enjoyed all year long and some simple power technology can bring a lot of added convenience to these popular outdoor activities.

For camping, we recommend the 25 watt SUNLINQ. Use the sun for more than just a tan with this flexible solar panel that can be easily connected to a mobile battery pack. This lightweight power solution is an easy way to bring a little convenience to your campsite.

If you are looking for a more compact, high powered solution, the Goal Zero Power Pack is a rugged external battery. This sleek lithium battery pack is equivalent to using 70,000 AA batteries and is small enough to fit in any camping pack.

For our boating enthusiasts we have the largest selection of marine battery chargers on the web. From waterproof onboard units to fully submersible chargers to 24 volt chargers to multi-output solutions, we stock everything you need to keep your marine batteries fully powered.

At Impact Battery not only do we offer great prices on top

Scooters here, scooters there, there seem to be scooters for kids, teens and adults out everywhere! Warmer temperatures mean kids and teens are often outdoors in force, spending time soaking up the sunshine and having fun on their bikes, skateboards and electric scooters.

The popular stand-up and sit down scooter options can provide hours of fun for kid, but a battery that doesn’t hold a proper charge can turn the outing into a huge hassle for parents and a big disappointment for the kids. If the battery on your scooter doesn’t seem to be holding a good charge or lasting long, it may be time for a new one. Impact Battery stocks all shapes and sizes of the major replacement electric scooter batteries. Be sure to check out our website for replacements for Razor, Schwinn, Bladez, Mongoose, X-Treme and other brands. We also feature a link to easily search for your battery replacement in the event we don’t show the product you need listed.

We also feature battery upgrades to provide for better

In honor of Earth Day on April 22 and all the rightly-deserved emphasis on helping to reduce our carbon footprint and keep Mother Earth safe and healthy for future generations, we want to use this blog to promote recycling—specifically batteries.

Most types of batteries can be recycled, and thanks to efforts of individuals and businesses, more batteries are being recycled than ever before. Certain batteries are recycled more readily than others, and today nearly 90 percent of lead-acid automotive batteries are now recycled.

Lead-acid batteries include golf cart, motorcycle, UPS, industrial and commercial batteries, to name a few, and can be the regular type, sealed lead acid, gel type, or absorbent glass mat (AGM) batteries. They are recycled through a process that involves grinding them, neutralizing the acid, and then separating the polymers from the lead. The reclaimed materials are then reused in a variety of applications, including making new batteries. By recycling the lead it is

Dead Batteries...The Joy of Children

It was my turn to take my son to school today. As we prepared to get in our red Subaru Legacy my son asks, "Dad, did you charge the battery yet?" I had completely forgotten to do so. The battery went dead the prior week after our youngest daughter found an unlocked door and managed to flip every switch, turn every dial, and twist every lever. Needless to say, the lights and everything else that draws power were left on without us noticing.

[For the step-by-step playbook on how to overcome today's smart chargers and revive a dead battery refer to the bottom of this blog post]

I had a PulseTech Xtreme charger in the garage and connected it to the terminals. Nothing. The charger indicated it was connected to AC power and that it was not connected to a battery. Of course, being the 'smart' man that I am, I figured the charger was wrong or at the very least the clamps slipped off.  So I held the clamps directly on the auto post avoiding any corrosion

For all you parents who bought your child riding toys and specialty toy items like radio-controlled cars and aircraft over the holidays, only not to be able to play with them due to cold or weather, it’s time to pull those items out and get them kid ready because warmer temperatures are most likely here to stay!

Riding toys by leading manufacturers Peg Perego and Power Wheels can provide hours of entertainment and fun for your kids. However, there’s nothing quite so disappointing as having a battery that isn’t charged, or even worse, being out riding and have the battery stop working. Those of you in the know will agree that it’s no fun at all to then have to cart an inoperable riding toy back home—leaving a bad taste in your mouth and a sad face on that of your child.

If your child constantly wants to ride and for longer periods of time, it may make sense to consider buying a back-up battery so that fun doesn’t need to stop when the battery does. That way, you can just swap out batteries

The spring is already showing to be warm and welcoming across much of the country, and now that the calendar officially says Spring, it’s time to pull out those outdoor toys you’ve had stored during the winter months and get them ready for the road!

If you are a motorcyclist, then it’s time to fine tune that bike of yours and do seasonal maintenance and checks so that you are ready to hit the road when sunny skies and temperatures call your name. One detail that requires careful attention is the condition of your battery. Depending on how old your ride is and the condition of your battery, it may be time to consider buying a replacement so your trip doesn’t get unexpectedly cut short.

At Impact Battery, motorcycle batteries are one of our specialties. We sell 99.8 percent of all motorcycle batteries on the market today, and right now we are offering them at 10 percent off!

We have noticed that the majority of Goal Zero customers seem to prefer purchasing through Amazon or via Goal Zero directly.

Impactbattery.com also gives a portion of every sale to the charity of our customers choosing, at no cost to our customers. Spread the word and continue the cycle of giving!

Most of us have multiple portable devices nowadays. No longer do we have one thing we take with us on the go. Rather, most of us today have a cell phone and laptop, and possibly camcorder, camera, DVD player and more. Add kids and family members to the mix, and you’re likely to have multiple devices, and all requiring battery charge to perform. That sometimes can be a problem!

That is why we are recommending the Tekkeon myPower ALL MP3450 portable battery. It connects to and charges most every portable power device on the market and is in stock and for sale at impact Battery. We like it because you can enjoy hours of extended playtime and double your battery capacity and fun. You can even charge this portable battery with a SUNLINQ lightweight flexible solar panel, giving you even more options for charging and keeping all your portable devices up and going.

The full details and specifications are available on our website so can you determine for yourself whether this product meets the

A mild winter has turned into an early Spring across much of the country, and folks are already putting their attention to outdoor sports they will be able to enjoy.  A favorite pastime is getting out that motorcycle that has been kept under cover and put away during cold-weather months.  There’s no better time than right now to clean up your ride and make sure all parts are in working order so you can have the ride of your dreams!  One area that requires a thorough check is the battery, because not only do you want to get out the starting gate, but you want to be able to return to home base at the end of your ride!

If you haven’t had your battery replaced in a while, it is likely that you are due for a new one.  Keep in mind that while batteries are lasting longer than ever, no battery lasts forever, and diminished performance will be typically noted after a year of use.  That’s not to say your battery won’t last longer; however, many riders choose to get a fresh battery and

If you or a loved one utilizes an electric wheelchair or scooter, then you know how having a low battery when on-the-go is downright unacceptable!

And so you are never left without the ability for power mobility, having a backup is always a good idea!

At Impact Battery, we have a large selection of replacement batteries for your mobility scooter or wheelchair. For your convenience, we have separated the types by under 25 amps, 26-55 amps, over 56 amps, and gel batteries.
